I never really bothered with the sprites. I just did everything myself. I might have to bother them if I make another file.

For the beginnig plan, I usually focus on money and making my animals like me. Occasionally, I'd give a gift to the bachelorettes.

Do you not plant lots and lots of crops each season? I can't imagine watering all my crops each day, while still doing everything else, though i guess with the higher level watering cans it wouldn't be so bad.

Actually, since I got so tired of animals, because I have to run around and brush them, feed them, etc, I kicked them all out of my farm. Plus, they earn very little money compared to my whole field of crops.

I'm working on friending another one to do watering, and training them with the game when they don't work.

You only have one watering sprite? Well, I suggest you get some more experience on that watering can, and upgrade it. And also, hopefully you haven't passed Summer 16, it is Timid's (the green sprite) birthday, buy some flour and wrap it, gifts on birthdays have 5x the effect, and wrapping has 1.25x, so flour, which usually has +9 FP, will give 56 FP. One wrapped flour will be enough to get him to work, and 5 wrapped flours will get him to the maximum 10 hearts.

Here are all the sprite's birthdays:

Birthdays »
Chef - Fall 14
Nappy - Winter 22
Hoggy - Fall 10
Timid - Summer 16
Aqua - Spring 26
Staid - Spring 15
Bold - Spring 4

Thanks HMM, I totally forgot to look into when everyone's birthdays are. I'm going to print out the list and make sure I keep track of everyone.

I'm working up a second sprite for watering, and I'm going to finally upgrade my can to silver, I'm too lazy to go down and dig up some gold. And i've still got about 50% till i could mystrile upgrade it.

Actually, I did the math, and if you had 16 cows producing L milk and 8 chickens producing high quality eggs, and if you turn them into cheese and mayo everyday, in 1 year you'll get over 1 million , while the max for crops is a bit over 2 million a year.
Something to think about...

One million is a lot, but it would take a lot of time to get them to have enough hearts for large eggs/milk, and it would cost a lot of money for the makers, and the barn upgrades.
And crops make only a little over 2 million a year? No way! I think it should be like 3 or 4 million.

Seriously. Try it out with the profit planner download.
The 2 million is net, by the way, I dunno what gross would be.

I spend everything on seeds, then immediately work on the sprites with grass, and the girl(s) with any good free gifts. I plant the renewable crops in spring/summer to level the sprites up for fall so they can water/harvest more sweet potatoes. I bought about 10 patches of pineapples to bring in lots of money before autumn, and plenty of corn for sprite harvesting experience.

I bought a chicken to mass reproduce after the corn money came in. I saved the cows for mid Autumn when Sweet Potatoes bring in the cash. I upgraded all tools to Silver as soon as I could to clear the field, which was around late summer (watering can is important).

I had one animal sprite and two sprites for both watering and harvesting. Then I got 2 more harvest sprites and try to maintain them with flour/honey.
In winter I would have just one sprite (animal) working so he levels up and put the other 6 on animals for one day during his off day. Gave the sprites flour every day and honey to the animal sprite.

And I usually have the girl at a red heart at the end of Winter.

i usually fish,and then mine.

neckless worth a lot,and then after get some money,i buy some seeds

Alright, so I'm getting ready to start winter, and I'm not sure what I should spend my time doing. How do you guys make money in winter? Other than the grasses, and whatever is spread out around the lake, and hotspring. Do you mine a lot, and ship that? Or do you not worry too much about making lots of money, and instead focus on increasing relationships with everyone else?

Should I save some crops to try and ship throughout winter?

Whats the point of saving crops? It just makes more work, and you still get the same amount of money...
I sleep it away, only coming out to take care of the animals and to give presents to people on their birthdays.
Otherwise I'll get all the Kappa jewels in the winter mine.

I suppose you still do end up with the same total profit, but I figured it'd help keep you with money to spend throughout winter. Maybe I just have a tendency to spend my money on stuff I may not actually need (all those flour wrapped gifts for the sprites)

I suppose I could sleep through the season. Animals can stay outside during winter, right? Except when it snows and stuff. It's been years since I last played, so I don't remember all these tiny details.

Chickens, yes. Cows & sheep no. They apparently can't get at the grass. Chickens are fine, though...

The sweet potato money from Autumn should be more than enough to last until spring. Assuming you had sprites harvesting a lot.
